0COPC_C04 : Material Ledger Inactive for valuation area

I ran RSA3 for 0CO_PC_ACT_02 and 0CO_PC_ACT_05 and I get 1000 records respectively. I ran the info package to load this data into BW to 0COPC_C04 . I am getting a message in the status tab " Job termination in the source system". When I look at the job log , it says " Material ledger not active for abcd Valuation area".
SO I went to OMX1 and I beleive that a while back there was a change to do company code valuation , which got changes to plant valuation ,so this is what I see in the screen:
Valuation area = 0001
Company Code = abcd
Price Det. = 3
and there is this one records which shows :
Valuation area = abcd
Company code = abcd
Price determination = 3
and it is not check marked under ML Act . This is only in the dev box , it was fixed in QA and Prod. But never fixed in Dev.
I am not sure , what to do , also I am not sure if this is what is causing the problem.
Thanks

Can some one guide me?
Thanks

Material Ledger with Split Valuation Type 'X' with FIFO

Hi,
The requirement from the customer is to have Raw Material, Intermediary and Finished Products valued at Actuals and on a FIFO basis. According to me, this is possible only if we activate Material Ledger, have batch split valuation u2018Xu2019 as the valuation type and have a batch search strategy which does a FIFO. Are there any technical issues with this solution? Or is there a better solution? Is any organisation ever using this solution for a similar requirement? As an extension of this requirement, how does commodity trading companies running in SAP handle their inventory and COGS valuation?
Thanks and Regards
Shivram.

Hi,
Using Material Ledger with batch management and split valuation of each batch ("X") leads to most aaccurate FIFO valuation result, however, depending on how many material and batch the customer has, huge number of materials will be processed and it will affect the performance issues. You should check the number and expected period-end time frame scheduling at least.
Financial responsible tell you to need this kind of solution (detailed FIFO calculation)?
They usualy needs to get simple FIFO valuation, meaning they don't care each individual logistic material movement as FIFO, but only care of periodic FIFO. I know, it depends on Finacial responsibes or their auditors, so it's also not general.
Please double-check the new FIFO valuation function for Material Ledger with using Periodic Closing and AVR. Some information is in SAP Note 1431829 and 1247053. Related transactions are there, CKLMBB_xxxx under Actual Costing/Material Ledger -> Balance Sheet Valuation Procedures. I couldn't find any official documents for Material Ledger + FIFO valuation (like Release Notes).
Hope this will be an additional option to yours.
Best regards, Takashi

Run CKMLCP (material ledger cockpit) for closed period in MMPV

Hi,
I would like to run CKMLCP for period 12.2008, however MMPV was run in 02.2009, and only january and fabruary 2009 are allowed for material postings.
How can I settle material ledger in 12.2008? I know about note 361236 (CKMLCP: No period-end closing operations after period shift), but don't know if this will do all the proper postings or only close 12.2008 technically.
Regards,
Karol

Hi Carol ,
Please remeber costing Run i.e CKLMCP is a closing activity so it should be done only at the time of closing a particular period .A syou said two periods are open for MM but costing also post some Accounting enteries if FI period is closed the its not possible.
And its not recommended to run costing any time in middle of the period.
Thanks

Material Ledger Status for exisitng materials change

Hi,
What is the best way to perform material ledger closing entries for pre-existing materials in plant?
I have a plant that already has pre-exisiting materials since 01/2009 or prior, and then we activated material ledger for this plant.
Of course, we then try to run actual costing CKMLCP for these existing materials for period 05/2010, and is errored with
"carry-out period-end closing for materials in previous period" message. I try OSS note 361236 to close out periods that are older than previous period..with the MMPV period shift situation; but is not helping because these materials are already existing, so I can have CKM3 analysis for these materials as far back as 01/2006...as I ran report S_ALR_87013180 to check the period status for all these materials to see how far do i have to go back in terms of period/fiscal yr.
My question is, if there are pre-existing materials active in the plant and then we activated ML, how far do I have to go back to get the CKMLCP done? Or what is the best way to handle such scenarios?
any advice?

Hey,
Can you let me know when did you do the ML startup?
At production start, the system automatically sets all materials to price determination control 2, which will not be included in ckmlcp processing.
And when you change the price determination from 2 to 3 via CKMM, the period status will be automatically changed to "new object", for which there's no need to do the period end closing.
Anyway, if your materials is with status 30 for the previous periods, the most convenient solution is to manually set it to 70 for the last period. You may achieve this via program MLHELP_SET_PP_STATUS_70. You only need to do it for the period before last period. Then you can go ahead with the normal period end closing process for the previous period.

Error in Activating Material ledger

Hi experts,
I'm trying to activate the material ledger first time to the plant. Then an error is displaying. The error is
The value "001" was entered in the field "LFDNR"
This is not possible because it is a numeric field where only numbers may be entered.The length of the field is 000005.
Enter only numeric vallues in this field.
psl do favour to me.
Thanks
Reddy.P.S

Hi ,
Have you completed the following configuration :
1     Assign Currency Types to Material Ledger Type [OMX2]
2     Assign Material Ledger Types to Valuation Area [OMX3]
3     Maintain Number Ranges for Material Ledger Documents [OMX4]
4     Configure Dynamic Price Changes [OMX5]
5     Reasons for Price Changes
6     Define Movement Type Groups of Material Ledger [OMX7]
7     Assign Movement Type Groups of Material Ledger [OMX0]
8     Define Material Update Structure [OMX9]
9     Assign Material Update Structure to a Valuation Area [OMX8]
10     Activate Actual Cost Component Split [SPRO]
11     Activate Distribution of Usage Variances [SPRO]
For OMX1 .. what price determination you are using . Are you using "3" .
If you already have some other plant active , compare the configurations using transaction CKM9.
Once all configurations are completed , then only use CKMSTART.

Actual Costing concept in Material Ledger

Hi
Masters , can any body please explain the concept of Acutal costing in material ledger i think that involves the following steps:
1 Activate actual costing.
2.Define userdefined names for receipts and consumption
3.Assign user defined names for receipts and consumption /
for the above 2 and 3 points what is the purpose we have to define and assign user defined names in coantrolling level selecting the B+ Procurement and V+ Consumption.
thanks in advance

Hi,
Actual costing is a huge concept. It is difficult to explain the concept in few words
Please go through the following link for detailed informaton:
http://help.sap.com/printdocu/core/print46c/en/data/pdf/COPCACT/COPCACT.pdf
Configuration Points:
Path: IMG>Controlling>Product Cost Controlling --> Actual costing/Material Ledger
1. Activate Material Ledger for valuation areas
2. Assign Currency types to Material Ledger Type
3. Assign Material Ledger Type to Valuation Area
4. Configure Dynamic Price Changes
5. Define Material Update Structure
6. Assign Material Update Structure to a Valuation Area
7. Activate Actual Cost Component Split
8. Activate Actual Costing
Coming to your Questions 2 and 3. they are required to be created if you want your own Controlling level for transactions that you would like to differentiate in the material ledger, further than the standard system offers. Normally we don't use unless there are some specific business requirements
Some key points would be:
ML records all receipts, consumptions and variances for each material.
ML gives overview for each material of the starting balance, receipts, consumption, variance and ending balance.
ML calculates the actual cost for each material u2013 finished goods, packaging.
If a material has BOM, variances of lower levels are rolled up to next higher level up to finished goods, to calculate actual cost for raw material, semi finished & Finished goods in ML as unit price.
Calculated actual cost at end of month can be used as standard price for next period in the material master.
SAP MM is on standard price based costing, ML can do monthly average costing.
Direct settlement of all kind of price differences / exchange rate difference/ to materials at the end of the period.
Once activated , it is not that easy to deactivate although possible with implications like not having historic data.
Cannot be used in isolation : All the plants within the company code shall be material ledger active.
Material Price change is not possible after first transaction in that period.
Using material ledger, inventory in US plant in Canada will be available in USD and CAD
Hope this would help you.

3 valuations in Material ledger

Hi,
My client's requirement is as follows:
1) Legal valuation has to be in Local currency but on Actual Costing
2) Profit Center Valuation in Local currency but on standard costing - same as Group valuation
3) Group Valuation in Group currency in standard costing - Group valuation
Is this possible when, Actual costing Material ledger implemented?
I imagin, Legal valuation field in Material Master will be updated by periodic unit price when we run CKMLCP. Then Profit center valuation field in the Material Master will be updated when we run CK40N in standard costing PC valuation costing run. Then again we will run ck40n in standard costing for Group valuation to update Group valuation in Material Master.
If my client opts to run ck40n for legal valuation, then he should also be able to mark and release standard cost new price, in Legal valuation field of material master and actual costing will not release standard price for new period.
The requirement is typically complicated, as my client wants to maintain his Global template, though one country comes under actual costing requirement.
I would like to dig out answers from real time experience please.
Cheers,
Ashok

I can give you some information but not everything. I have gone through the deployment of material ledger using 3 valuations, but not the ones you are using. We used Local, Group and Group at Group. All 3 are at actual costing. What this means is that the local currency is the currency in the country where the plant exists. The group valuation is a straight conversion to US dollars from the local currency based on the currency conversion tables M and P rates. Note that both of these first two currencies can include intercompany profit if reflected on the transferring sales order between companies. The Group at Group is the US dollar conversion without the intercompany profit. We find this works for our business.
The other thing about material ledger is that you need to have a standard cost estimate so that material ledger can keep track of the cos component structure. The way it works is as follows:
Say the standard estimate shows labor=$100, materials=$200 and overhead=$300 for a total cost of $600. All transactions in the month using this material use the $600 standard. Now, when material ledger is run at month end, the PUP (periodc unit price) is calculated and let us assume the PUP values are labor=$150, materials=$250, overhead=$350 for a total PUP of $750. Material ledger already has tables with the details of the standard components against every transaction. Now it will apply the remaining adjustments totalling $150 to the proper cost components for COPA purposes. This is pushed to COPA using transaction KE27. Think of it like this...Actual cost is equal to standard ($600) plus/minus variances ($150).
Therefore, you always should have a standard cost estimate when using material ledger. At least that is my usage and understanding. I hope I provided useful information for you in some way.

Implemanting Material ledger

Regarding material ledger
Dear FI guys,
I have a issue on material ledger. We are going for a upgrade from 4.6 C to ECC 6.0 that time client asking us to go with material ledger implementation also is there any impact with this up on upgrade and can you help me where and all integration will come in the material ledger Could you please give me any docs on material ledger please.
Thanks & Regards
Mastan Rao

Dear Mastan rao,
Material ledger data is valuation and control data for a material (with a particular valuation type, if applicable) in a plant for a particular posting period. Material ledger data also contains data for movements that are relevant to the valuation of the material. This data is collected in the material ledger as it is entered in the system.
Use: Material ledger data forms the basis of actual costing and is used to manage valuation prices in multiple currencies and valuations. Consequently, material ledger data supplements the material master record. In addition, material ledger data can refer to materials that are part of sales order stock and project stock.
Structure: The most important information in material ledger data is:
Valuation price, inventory quantity, and inventory value in up to three currencies and/or valuations
Indicator for price determination (as in the material master record)
Control of the valuation prices (as in the material master record)
Period status of the material
Integration: Using material ledger data, the system collects information on material movements (such as goods receipts and invoice receipts) in each period at historical exchange rates. This data is used during material price determination to calculate new valuation prices for the material. Then, the material stock account is reconciled in multiple currencies with the accounts in Financial Accounting.
If the material ledger is active for a particular plant (and consequently for all materials in that plant), material ledger data is automatically created upon the creation of the material master record or upon production startup. You can see whether the material ledger is active by looking in the accounting view of the material master record.
As per my experience Implementing material ledger along with upgrade should not have any impact on upgrade activity but it is recommended that u treat these two as two individual project. If you are using some tools like solution manager etc u should ideally create two different projects in Solman. one of them should be of implementation type for material ledger while the other one should be an upgrade project. u can further choose ur raodmap etc accordingly and move ahead.
Hope this helps.
